Dear Evan Hansen - Cancellation Line/Lottery — Page 27

I'm still trying to process everything I saw in the show last night. It was one of the best theatre experiences I've ever had. Certainly my favorite contemporary musical. Everyone was on last night except for Michael Park. Asa played Larry very well though. The way the set/screens moved around was so innovative. Everything was just perfect.

To anyone who is trying to get tickets, do whatever you can to see this show. I thought I'd regret spending $427 per ticket. Absolutely not. It was totally worth it, and I'd do it again. I recommend checking out TickPick, which is basically stub hub without the fees.

How many hours ARE you both, in total, willing to wait so as to ensure that you both see Ben?

I waited on Friday 9/29 from 9am-6:30pm, first in the line. They came out and offered me a ticket and 2 partial view front row (taken by #8 and 9 in line!) and then another ticket wasn't offered again until 7:45! My sister and the 5 people behind her got great seats, but it was right up until 8pm. There were some big names there that night, too!

Yes! No news until that moment. We got there at 9 (there were 6 people in front of us but they weren't in it for the whole day!), and the next 5 people got in line around 12:30. That was a Friday though, not sure if it made a difference. When I saw the line Sat am there were definitely 3 people in line around 8:30!

Hi,

I'm visiting New York from November 15th to the 24th. I have only recently been introduced to DEH but am already in love with it. I have been frantically combing through the internet looking for tickets, but since those are Ben's last days they are almost all sold out. I found a $275 ticket on stub hub for the 21st, after Ben leaves. Is it worth it? And whats the deal with extra fees?

Thanks!

Also, to everyone. There's an alternative to StubHub that sells the same tickets without the fees. It's called TickPick. Excellent service. Can't recommend them enough.

I've been lurking this board for a while and trying casually on telecharge, but this Friday I'm actually off from school and work and hoping to go to NY to see it. Is today the start of the 4 day rule or is it tomorrow? Also if I can't get a telecharge ticket, I'm going to go up to do the cancellation line. I did the Hamilton cancellation line in 2016 and for that I got there the night before. People for this line don't seem to be doing that though. Would love some advice/insight on both the best ways to lurk telecharge for tix and the cancellation line.

Thanks!"

From this morning till dinner today it's possible seats are made available on Telecharge.

For the cancellation line, sometimes you need to be there by noon, sometimes midnight, to be first.

No way to know how the show will be with Noah Galvin- the next Evan starting after Ben, but having seen both Ben and MLB as Evan I can say that the show is great with any good Evan so as long as Noah is bringing it- I'd say it's worth it to get a ticket for then. I'd reccomend holding out, though and trying out the clue day method (my method for doing that was just regularly checking Telecharge from the current date to November 19th and having the site select my seat for me, that was the quickest way to just jump to an available ticket- I got a single ticket to see Ben at regular price fairly easy using this technique and I sad tickets pop up at various times of day when I changed. I'd say 2/3 times a ticket would show up. You can just do this by regularly checking the 15th-19th or 24th and then checking it often starting on the 10th). I wouldn't go for StubHub unless as a last resort. Also if you can do cancellation line- I can imagine there will be a small boost in then right after Ben leaves so that could be a benefit to you!

You have a wide window of time that can be used and a decent enough budget if you're able to pay $275+StubHub fees so I don't think it should be too rough to get ticket. This thread has a wealth of knowledge in it as well I'd reccomend reading through it all. Also from someone who paid too much on StubHub for no reason back in June don't make any brash decisions for ticket purchasing lol! I managed to make up for it thanks to this threads great advice helping me get a Orchestra seat at regular price to see Ben Platt which balanced out my foolish brashticket buying the first time."

Thanks for answering! I've been checking almost every day for the past two weeks and it seems like all the tickets are locked up until 11/24. Will they not show up until closer to the performance day or is there a specific time I should be checking telecharge? It seems like every time I check only the same ticket on the 24th is available.

I would reccomend starting on the morning of the 11th checking fairly regularly for the 15th-19th, I bought my Wednesday ticket on a Saturday at around 12:30, there were three tickets available and they stayed up for about an hour before selling out. This is Ben Platts last week so it might be different, though. The week after should be regular, though.

Hi all, I need some advice.

This is me: https://youtu.be/BF-MtSxapDs We had 48" of water in our house in Harvey and lost everything that was downstairs. My teen daughter who has a lot of anxiety listened to Dear Evan Hanson pretty continuously and it totally got us through all of the stress.

My daughter and I really want to see Ben before he leaves and it became so much more important after the flood so I talked my husband into tacking on a trip to NYC at the end of a road trip to Michigan to visit his family. We will drive from the Detroit area to NYC on Wed Oct 18th (10 hr drive) and leave Sat morning the 21. So I have a Thurs and Fri to buy tixs, we could possibly do the Wed 7:30 show. I've been looking at the Thurs show.

There are 5 of us going to the show. I can split however is needed- 2 and 3, 4 and 1; 2 2 and 1; whatever works. (3/2 or 4/1 would be best if we have to split.)

Stub Hub tixs start at 400 and there's another 120 each tix in fees. There's some on TickPics in the 400-500 range. When I first looked around a week ago there were some around $350 on Stub Hub but don't see those anymore. I thought prices might decrease as the date became closer but as I look at the tixs they seem to be going up.

I'm looking at the 4 day trick on Telecharge, have those still been popping up? I'm afraid to risk not getting the tickets. I can still probably manage some of the $400 but I can't afford 500/600 each. I was hoping if I could get 2 or 3 on the Telecharge then the Stub Hub price becomes more affordable if I am getting fewer tickets. I could hire some of the line sitters but feel it's unlikely I would get 5 seats. Since we only have 2 days in NYC don't want to waste it on sitting in line. Also since I am on vacation with family it's hard to check telecharge every 10 mins as needed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I concur with Leswickedly - figure out how the max $ budget you want to spend and just buy via stubhub. Buy them for your three kids and go in with the expectation that they will be the ones seeing the show. You and your husband can try the lottery or telecharge method but odds are quite slim given that you're only in town for two days.

Non-premium seats for Tuesday 10/17 have just been released on Telecharge.

I don't see them - gone already?"

Looking at N 26-28 right now. I'll release them so someone can scoop 'em up.
